       I am not sure I understand what is the result of the rpm --import command
       because if I do a :

       rpm -qi gpg-pubkey 

       I get :

       Name        : gpg-pubkey                   Relocations: (not relocatable)

       for each pubkey still with the install date and buid host : localhost.

       This one gives me :
